The first step to use the quadratic formula is to put your equation into standard form, meaning that you put everything to the left, and in descending order. In this case, you get:

x^2 + 7x + 1 = 0

Which is the same as:

1x^2 + 7x + 1 = 0

So, the coefficients for the quadratic formula are: a = 1, b = 7, c = 1.
